While Square makes (more) sense to get into the banking game, I've noticed a lot of companies only tangentially related to finance doing similar things, and I wonder what it's indicative of: - T-Mobile offers an exclusive checking

I think we can all agree that ideas, at their base level, are worth very little. In a sense, it's baked into the word itself -- the "idea" stage is basically just a thought; the beginning step before a long series of addition

For me, as much as I am competitive, I feel like it only drives me when the odds of what I am competing for feel somewhat fair. To give an example, a lot of my friends have been into Magic the Gathering for many years, and I recently tried

First off, congrats on launching, the product looks super smooth! Had a few thoughts off the cuff: 1. From a product perspective, do you worry about relying heavily on Figma? If marketing and design teams move towards different design tools

I mean, couldn't we just replace Microsoft->Sony and PC->Playstation and the argument falls apart a bit? > Imagine if Sony did this on Playstation. a) prohibiting the installation of non-PlayStation games and b) insisting that

First off, very cool tool. README looks nice, demo looks nice, website looks nice, code quality looks nice, and in general the whole "product" aspect of it looks very good. My main concern is that your competitive advantage seems

The main issue I have with Streamlabs is that they _heavily_ push their "Prime" SaaS model. I started to get myself set up on Streamlabs for the first time the other day, and accidentally deleted my free Theme/ Scenes that I

How do you work with the service providers you use to host your platform and send out emails (e.g. Heroku / Mailgun) to let them know you are not a malicious phishing company, but an anti-phishing company? I say this because I ended up

One of the lessons I've learned (that this article echos upon) is that you should _always_ factor the "long term cost" of adding a feature. When I first started building TrueJob (job board software), I'd add in all these

If you are wondering how Stripe could even start with just 7 lines of code, it's a bit misleading: With Stripe, all a startup had to do was add seven lines of code to its site to handle payments: What once took weeks was now a cut-

I think the main reason it's unsolved is that there's a lot of personalization that needs to happen. If you (as a son, let's say), can't figure out what to give your dad, how can a site? The reason why a lot of holiday g

You're right -- we scrape a good deal of startups, but sometimes we get duplicates, and although we try to de-duplicate via a lot of different methods, sometimes they sneak through. This one should be fixed now, but there's probab
